BA LLB (Hons) FAICD TEP
Founder and Solicitor Director

Admitted as a solicitor in 1980, Anne worked in two major Sydney law firms in commercial law, including resource development, finance and banking.

In 1985 she jointly established a firm of consulting lawyers who pioneered the specialist practice of legal audit and compliance. This initiative involved working on-site with clients to develop strategies for differing aspects of legal risk management.

Since then a significant part of Anne's compliance and preventative law work has been with not for profit and educational institutions, covering a wide range of charities and education law issues.

It was a logical step therefore in 2001 to establish Prolegis to act only for charities and other not for profit organisations.

In 2009 Anne established the Australian Charity Law Association, a body which exists to support the work of the charity and not for profit sector in Australia by providing education for practitioners in this field, and support for charity law reform.

In addition to her legal work, Anne has also been involved in governance of not for profit organisations for twenty five years, including serving on the boards of two large Sydney independent schools for sixteen years. In addition to being Chairman of the Australian Charity Law Association, she is also the Chairman of the Board of World Vision Australia.
